Editing Commodore Plus/4 (section)

== Adoption ==

In total, 1 million 264 series machines were sold in slightly more than a year on the market. Of these, 400,000 were Plus/4s with most of the remainder being C16s. Approximately 50,000 were C116s, with about 43,000 of those being sold in Germany, and the Plus/4 accounted for about 60%-70% of North American sales. Commodore's ultimate decision to discontinue the 264 line was not due to lack of sales, but in order to free up production capacity for C64s for the 1985 Christmas season.{{Citation needed|date=October 2019}}

The Plus/4 was later used in [[Denmark]], as part of a bundled product from the then-national [[telecommunications]] company (now [[TDC A/S]]) to help hearing-impaired people communicate over telephone lines. Outgoing calls were made from the Plus/4 via modem to a [[call center]] where a service assistant would read the written input from the user, call the other party and read the text aloud. Vice versa, incoming calls could be made from other users to the call center, who would dial the Plus/4 modem. A [[strobe light]] connected to the Plus/4 would notify the hearing impaired about the incoming call.

The Plus/4 enjoyed lasting popularity in [[Hungary]] due to CBM's decision to saturate the [[Central Europe|Central European]] market with the failed product at a greatly reduced price. A number of unofficial ports of C64 games were produced by Hungarian users.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://yape.homeserver.hu/history.htm|title = History | work = The C16-Plus/4 retro page }}</ref>
